Special TlCgdm 10 the Register.
MASON CITY, w. VA, May 3.-Pome-
roy, opposite here, has been greatly excited
for several days over the trial of Josiah
Terrell, on trial for his life for the murder
of Charles Phelps within few miles OF
that place last winter. Phelps was an
aged and respectable gentleman who lived
alone some distance from any other habita-
tion, and after having been missed for
some days, was found beaten and
stabbed TO death in his own house, his
clothing frozen fast in his own blood. At
the time he was known to have in his pos
session about five dollars, and for this sum
some demon committed one of the black
est crimes recorded in the criminal annals
of Ohio. A few days after Terrell was
arrested in Athens county, that State,
having in his possession an OveTcOat and
other articles proven to have been the
property of the murdered man. The evi-
denCe is entirely circumstautial, but of
such a character that it has woven arOnnd
the prisoner a chain from which there is no
escape. Yesterday evening jury returned
verdict of murder in the first degree, and
late last night Judge Destiger sentenced
him to hang on the second OF next Sep
tember. Terrell swore the sentence did
scare him 4 bit, and this morning cursed
the minister who visited him in his cell.
Terrell's mothers first husband was John
McMahan, who was hung at Point Pleas
ant in November, 1853, for the murder Of
Charles B. Waggener, near Mason City,
that year. McMahan was the only man
ever hanged in this, Mason, county.

BATTLE WITH A MAD DOG.

Rnbid Canine.

Struggle Between Georgia Ply siciAn and
Rnbid Canine.
ATLANTA, May 3.-Dr. Hardeman, Of
Cumming, is dying from the result of an
encounter with mad-dog on Wednesday
night. He had call into the country,
making the journey on horseback. While
on his way back he was met by n huge
mastiff belonging TO Edward Pearson.
The dog, which was running with it's nose
close to the ground, sprang at the doctors
horse, the rider being thrown to the
ground. The infuriated animal nj
once sprang upon the doctor and,
finally securing hold of his hip,
pulled away viciously, imbedding his
teeth deeper and deeper into the flesh. In
his despair, DIR. Hardeman jerked out his
pistol and began firing. The animal still
clung TO him, being rendered still more
savage by the pistol flashes, while the doc
tor was not able to get good aim until his
third shot, when, placing the muzzle Of his
revolver to the dogs head, he sent bullet
through its brain. The animal maintained
its grip while writhing in its death agony
and il was only after its death that the
doctor could free himself Upon reaching
home he was told that the dog had gone
mad during the day. This
knowledge threw the doctor
into a state of nervous prostratiou, border
ing OH frenzy. His father at once set out
thirty miles for n maidstone of alleged won
deriul properties He rode for twelve
hours without stopping, only 10 find OIL
his return home that his son had placed
himself beyond hope by branding the
wounds with a red hot iron. The young
man found that while his father WAS away
the poison would secure sucl, hold that
he could derive no benefit from the mad
stone. 1t was thus that without tlinchinS
he applied the red hot poker to his wounds
and burned deep into the flesh. As con-
sequence the maidstone would not adher,
though repeated efforts were made TO ac-
complish that result. The nnfortunat,
man is suffering terrible torture.

son Used Bribery in His Own Election.
KINGwooD, May 2. 1881.
To ne EdaOr Of Tie Regiaa
The Democrats Of our community have
been greatly amused at the position taken
bv Senator Dawson, of our place, as the
great political reformer of the present age.
The people here too we'll remember the
smirched and crumpled condition of Mr..
Dawson's political robes when he came out
of the campaign of 1SS4,-when, had
the charges of bribery against him been
Investigated, it is doubtful whether he
would now occupy his seat in the State
Senate.
The facts in the case were these: That
on the morning of the State election, 1884,
it was discovered by the Democratic
workers at the polls, that there was money
being used by the Republicans, which put
the Democrats upon their guard; and
that shortly before noon, of that
day, one John l.. FOrman, q
good alNsr SuDStantLA DeInOCTaJ, went
to the chairman of the Democratic County
Committee, in company with the editor Of
the West Virginia Argus, for advice, stat
ing that he had been approached on that
morning by Mr.. Dawson, and was offered
two dollars TO vote the Republican ticket,
upon which ticket Mr.. Dawson's name ap-
peared as a candidate for the State Senate.
Mr.. Foreman was advised to return to
Mr.. Dawson and accept the money, which
he did, and to which state
of facts he made affidavit.
These facts were at once made public
through the columns of The Argus and
have always been accepted as true by the
majority of our thinking people. At the
meeting of the next grand jury witnesses
were summoned for the purpose OF indict-
ing Mr.. Dawson, but majority Of the
grand jury being Republicans Mr.. Dawson
escaped indictment by strict party vote.
Is it any wonder we laugh in our sleeves
at the position he has taken rs the great
advocate of pure methods in politics?

New ORLEANS, La, May THE sa-
her was used with fatal effect by a newly
married man last night Yesterday morn
iuI Frederick Sallinger, a middle-aged
gardener, welded and took to his home
Mrs. Frank, widow siNty-iye years old
The event created no little talk in the
neighhorhooi and number of men deter
mined to give the couple warm reception
IN the way of q chsriylri. Accordingly q
crowd assembled last night under the win
dow Of the bridal chamber and proceeded
to salute the newly welded pair with the
beating ot tin pans, the footing OF horns,
aud other accompSnimentS OF a trst-claSS
ChaTIyaTI. Not content with this, several
ot the party sought TO effect au entrance in-
10 the house. The door of the bridal chamber
Wa opened and three OF the SerenaderS
rushed IN. One of them, Joseph Sillman,
MAS armed with a heavy club. Sallinger,
naturally Indignant over the rude intrusion,
anguly addressed the adventurous party
and quarrel enSued Picking out Sill
man as the principal object OF his wrath,
NAlAuger seized an old slber hanging on
the wall aud lunged at him. Sillman
parted the thrust with his club and At
tempted to dlSLrm the outraged and in
iurlated groom. The latter again lunged
sava2ely with his Saber. This time the
point Of the weapon struck Sillman in the
abdomen, ranged downward and passed
entirely through him, inficting a mortal
wound. As he realized that Sillman was
wounded, Slllinger came to his assistance
and made every effort to render / im COM
iOrtable. The wounded man was taken
to the hospital. When he learned the
fatal character of his wound he said that
Saulnger was not to blame under the cir
cumStanees and urged that he be not
prosecuted.

A Drama Of Civilization, the Great Wild
West Exhibition.


About all the innovations that have
been made in tented exhibitions during
the past quarter Of century have been
started by Adam FOrepaugh. His latest
move in this direction il his combining the
famous Win West exhibition with his
great circus hippodrome, menagerie and
trained wild beast show. To do this has
required an immense outlay of cash-not
less than three hundred thousand dollars
so it is stated. Indians, scouts, cow
boys, and all the entire paraphenala OF
the Wild West, have been combined with
his show, aud the exhibition il given
on the great race course, prepared
for the hippodrome. Here are seen
the bucking horses and their
determined riders; the realistic representa-
tiOns of the robbery Of the Overland mail
an emigrant train crossing the prairies;
sharpshooting by plainsmeD and rangers;
frontier games and sports; fort lite in the
far west, and vivid representation Of
Gen. Clusters sanguinsry battle with the
redskins on the Little Big Horn river il
produced. Genuine Indians, soldiers,
scouts. etc, are the actors, and the am
buscade, attack and final massacre are all
most realistically portrayed. This forms
but single feature OF the exhibition; for
il should be remembered that in addition
there il the great three ring circus, with
it, hundred champion performers; Adam
FOrepaugb, Jr., and his herd Of wonderfully
trained elephants; the high rope walking
horse Blondin, BOgardus and his sharp
shooters; broad sword oombats, tilts and
tOurnays, and the most exciting Roman
hippodrome races, by female Jockey riders
and chariOteers, as we'll as males, in add
ton to trained animals of all kinds, aud
the very largest mensgerie on this Cont
nent.
A magnificent street parade will usher
in the festivities Of the day, and as Fore
paugh's is the only big show" coming
here this season, all he needs il pleasant
weather to bring the entire county bebeath

there have been rains of late that will
